PCAM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pacific Coast Association of Magicians (PCAM) is an organization for professional, semi-professional and amateur magicians, that incorporates chapters around the entire Pacific Rim, including Japan, Hawaii, California, and western Canada. Founded in 1933, they host a well-known annual magic convention, which is limited to a few hundred registrants and gives out awards in an annual competition. The 2006 convention was held August 9-13 in Victoria, British Columbia, and PCAM 2007 will be August 2-5 in Calgary.
